“Ma and then-KMT spokeswoman Sisy Chen (陳文茜) were the first to say that the shooting was staged and that I played along, faking a wound,” Chen Shui-bian said. Earlier yesterday, Chen Shui-bian attended a media event in Taipei where alliance officials and candidates presented their policies and canvassed for votes. By appearing at the event, Chen Shui-bian risked breaking a condition of his medical parole that he not engage in political activity. Chen Shui-bian has maintained that he is a victim of political persecution by Ma and the KMT. Asked if the government might return him to prison, Chen Shui-bian said: “I am not scared”“I do not even fear the Chinese Communist Party… Now I do not fear death, so what is there to fear?” he said.
